Excel custom exports going to wrong version of Excel

SOLVED

Every other time I do a customer export I end up with a garbled spreadsheet that my version of excel can't handle.  I realized today that Sage is sending me the export as a version of Excel that is from 1997-2003, and my excel does not like that since it is a 2010.  I am trying to figure out how to correct this issue, if there is a way at all.

Thanks!

    IN EXCEL,  you need to get to the trust center, I have Excel 2016,  the option you need to change is the

    FILE BLOCK settings, they are counter intuitive, UN-CHECK the file types you want excel to open

    The other thing can be FILE EXPLORER, the file type is pointing to the wrong EXCEL

    RIGHT click on a XLS file and choose properties, see what OPENS WITH is pointing to, Should be Excel
